Kurashiki Knotting Chair Pad B
For cold wooden chairs. Kurashiki Knotting
Eighty years ago, Mr. Sotohata conceived of a chair pad called "Kurashiki Knotting." Its simple, sturdy construction means it can be used for 50 years, or even a lifetime if well-maintained. Placed on a cold wooden chair in winter, it protects your bottom from the chill.
Kurashiki Knotting was created at a time when floor seating was still common in Japan. It was born from the foresight of a future lifestyle involving chairs. Since the weft is wool, it has a thick finish, making it comfortable to sit on and ensuring a steady stream of devoted users. It is an item to be cherished and used for a long time.
Wool has strong resilience, so it won't flatten.
Furthermore, it is characterized by its warmth. Like a carpet, it is woven very tightly and firmly, so it takes many years for it to soften.
Even after about 10 years of use, it still looks almost new, and wear and tear won't appear until it's been sat on even longer.
Kurashiki Knotting is a hand-woven chair pad that has been continuously produced for 80 years, based on the loom and design conceived by Yoshinosuke Sotohata, the first director of the Kurashiki Folk Craft Museum.
The Kurashiki Hand-Dyeing and Hand-Weaving Research Institute was established in 1956 as part of the folk art movement. It teaches hand-weaving, spinning, dyeing, and other crafts, creating objects with a healthy and unpretentious beauty that are used in daily life. Kurashiki Knotting is one such item. Each wool thread is tied to the warp and woven. It is warm, durable, and will serve you well for a long time.
The user's individuality is welcome, but the maker's individuality is unnecessary.
Kurashiki Knotting, which can be called the culmination of Yoshinosuke Sotohata's craftsmanship. Its enduring appeal, cherished through changing times, is supported by the will of the makers, passed down through generations.
The reverse side.
Cotton threads are stretched as warp threads, and wool threads are individually tied and cut by hand.
Fits perfectly on the seat of a Wishbone Chair. Also helps prevent staining of paper cord.
